Meeting at the City Hall of Antigua.
The mayor of Antigua, Matías Peña, and the Councilor for Transport, Agustín G. Rodríguez, have received the new board of directors of the Antigua Taxi Association chaired by Antonio Fránquiz, answering their demands and questions and assessing the current situation of the service provided in the municipality.
The mayor recalled the economic item of 50,000 euros offered and rejected by the taxi association for the improvement and modernization of the communication systems of the service. "It is a shame that due to differences between the taxi drivers themselves and their lack of unity, they have lost aid that they could later justify according to investments or costs in improvements," said Matías Peña.
Mayor and councilor rejected during the meeting the proposal of the representatives of the association to remove the taxi rank in Antigua "because it is a public service of necessity, regardless of the greater or lesser demand that may exist."
"No resident of Antigua has to wait fifteen minutes for a taxi to arrive from Caleta de Fuste," said the mayor, Matías Peña, "remembering that as there are rights, there are obligations that must be fulfilled, supervising from the City Council of Antigua both the services and their frequency, state of the vehicle, uniformity of drivers or in general, the correct fulfillment of the taxi service, a public service that belongs to everyone".
